New Portholes
All seven are ready to be welded in. This one is the largest and will
be center aft. It's big enough to escape thru, unless you are as out of shape and fat as Bubbles. Has 1.25" thick armored glass. http://sports.webshots.com/photo/220...63212926DZfZRL Joe |

What paint do you use after welding? Watch out for the undercut, that's where the problems start. Frank |

If it falls on a body part it'll probably severe something important. Here's an amusing mental image: Bubbles stuck halfway in/out of that porthole. Max Max |

Thats the point, have no escape from the aft cabin except the wheelhouse, if it's on fire, or underwater it's nice to have another way out, plus should provide a nice breeze with it open. Joe |

Going to hire dream work fabrications, he's going to use a stick welder, also going to weld on new anoids. After welding and priming will use a 2 part epoxy barrier then top coat with rustolium. The welder is excellent and has experience with steel hulls, he just finished some work here in a german steel hull. Joe |

A hook on the overhead tapped thru the mahogany into a stringer for the big one, all the others are 8" and these neet anchor hook attach to the overhead. http://www.abimarine.com/Ventilation...le%20Chain.htm Here's an amusing mental image: Bubbles stuck halfway in/out of that porthole. Unless you are in the cabin...ewwwwww. Joe Max Max |
